My Amazing Trip To Africa! Ava Szogyenyi (Age: 8)

Last year, me and my family went to Mali, which is in Africa. We saw an elephant with a baby. I got to ride the elephant around a beautiful lake. The ride was magnificent. After that, I fed the baby elephant some acorns. I loved feeding it. Later, we saw a pride of lions. A lioness had four cubs. I thought it was cute seeing the cubs playing. Finally, we saw cheetahs running. Cheetahs can run up to 70 miles per hour. They were chasing a gazelle. It didn’t take them long to get it. After that, it was time to go home. I think my trip was one of the best trips I have had in a long time.
